Submission deadline (extended): July 7th, 2024
=======================================================================================
SCOPE
The International Symposium on Algorithmic Aspects of Cloud Computing
(ALGOCLOUD) is an annual event aiming to tackle the diverse new topics
in the emerging area of algorithmic aspects of computing and data
management in modern cloud-based systems interpreted broadly so as to
include edge- and fog-based systems, cloudlets, cloud micro-services,
virtualization environments, decentralized systems, as well as dynamic
networks.
ALGOCLOUD aims at bringing together researchers, students, and
practitioners to present research activities and results on topics
related to algorithmic, design, and development aspects of modern
cloud-based systems. The 8th edition of this symposium (ALGOCLOUD 2024)
is co-located with ALGO 2024, a leading international event of
researchers working on algorithms and their engineering.

CALL FOR PAPERS
ALGOCLOUD invites submissions covering theoretical, design, and
implementation aspects of modern cloud-based systems. It specifically
encourages novel algorithms related to cloud and edge computing, cloud
architectures, and the cloud-edge continuum. Experimental work
evaluating contemporary cloud-edge approaches and relevant applications
is of particular interest. Additionally, ALGOCLOUD welcomes
demonstration manuscripts showcasing successful system developments, as
well as articles discussing experiences, use cases, and high-quality
survey papers. Contributions may encompass a broad spectrum of
algorithms, practices, and techniques for modelling, building, and
evaluating operations and services across various systems, including
virtualized infrastructures, cloud computing platforms, edge computing
platforms, fog computing platforms, data centers, cloud storage options,
cloud data management, non-traditional key-value stores on the cloud,
HPC architectures, decentralized systems, and dynamic networks.
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another
journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
Regular papers: Authors are invited to submit high-quality manuscripts
reporting original unpublished research in the topics related to the
symposium. A regular paper submission should clearly motivate the
importance of the problem being addressed, discuss prior work and its
relationship to the paper, explicitly and precisely state the paper's
key contributions, and outline the key technical ideas and methods used
to achieve the main results. A regular paper submission should not
exceed 12 pages, including title page and abstract but excluding
references and an optional appendix. Authors should include all
necessary details in their submission so that the Technical Program
Committee (TPC) can judge correctness, importance and originality of
their work. Any material (e.g., proofs or experimental results) omitted
(from the main part of 12 pages)due to space limitations can be put into
the optional appendix, which will be read at the TPC's discretion.
Regular papers will be allotted up to 20 pages in the proceedings.
Short papers: A short paper submission may present work-in-progress on a
specific topic, or work appeared elsewhere but is worth publicizing it
in the symposium, or a demonstration of a system or library, or an
experience/use-case paper, or a vision paper. Authors should clearly
motivate the importance of their contribution, discuss prior work and
its relationship to the paper, and in general provide sufficient details
in their submission so that the TPC can judge the quality and importance
of their work. A short paper submission should be at least 2 and at most
8 pages. Short papers will be allotted up to 8 pages in the proceedings.
Survey papers: A survey paper submission concerns the write-up of a
high-quality survey paper on an emerging hot topic. Authors are asked to
submit a proposal between 5 and 10 pages, that clearly motivates the
importance of the topic, and contains the structure of the survey paper
along with the most important references that will be critically
reviewed and presented. If the proposal is accepted, then authors will
be given sufficient time to prepare the full version of their survey
paper that needs to pass a quality control check by the TPC, in order to
be finally accepted and appear in the proceedings. Survey papers will be
allotted up to 40 pages in the proceedings.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Algorithms for Decentralized Systems
Algorithms for Dynamic Networks
Cloud-Edge Continuum
IoT and Cloud Computing
Fog and Edge Computing
Mobile Edge Computing
Stream processing for Cloud-Edge continuum
In-network stream processing
Machine Learning for Cloud-Edge
Federated Learning in Cloud-Edge Architectures
Resource Management and Scheduling
Resource Management in Mobile Edge Computing
Data Center and Infrastructure Management
Distributed Caching and Load Balancing
Distributed Storage management
Privacy, Security and Anonymization
Game-theoretic Approaches for Cloud-Edge Computing

PROCEEDINGS
The conference proceedings will be published in the Springer-Nature
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series.
PAPER SUBMISSION
All papers should be submitted electronically via the EasyChair
submission system at:
Submissions website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=algocloud2024
Submissions must be in the form of a single pdf file prepared using the
LNCS latex templates and style files (available, together with
Springer's authors' guidelines, from
https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Springer's proceedings LaTeX templates are also available on Overleaf
(https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/springer-lecture-notes-in-computer-science/kzwwpvhwnvfj#.WsdHOy5uZpg).
By submitting a paper the authors acknowledge that in case of acceptance
at least one of the authors must register at ALGO/ALGOCLOUD 2024 and
present the paper (this holds for all types of papers, including
accepted survey proposals).
Springer encourages authors to include their ORCIDs in their papers. In
addition, the corresponding author of each paper, acting on behalf of
all of the authors of that paper, must complete and sign a
Consent-to-Publish form. The corresponding author signing the copyright
form should match the corresponding author marked on the paper. Once the
files have been sent to Springer, changes relating to the authorship of
the papers cannot be made. Accepted papers will be included in the
post-proceedings published by Springer in its Lecture Notes in Computer
Science series.
AWARDS
Awards will be given to the best regular paper and the best student
regular paper. A regular paper is eligible for the best student paper
award if at least one of the authors is a full-time student (Bachelor,
Master, or Ph.D.) at the time of submission and the student(s) must have
made a major contribution to the paper. The TPC can decide to decline or
to split the awards. Awards are sponsored by Springer.
